| "Children are our future leaders. We must teach them the right way to go." |
Youth Hope & Inspiration Inc.
"Where desire meets opportunity."
Youth Hope & Inspiration Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization
based on Christian principles that encourages a joint, community-led
effort to reduce high school dropout rates, non-promotions,
expulsions, suspensions, disciplinary offenses, teen pregnancies,
suicides, homicides, felonies, drug/alcohol abuse and obesity. It is
our belief that opportunities and positive reinforcements is the key to
saving our youth from becoming victims of these high risk behaviors.
We realize that children are our future leaders, and we must work
together to teach them to make better choices and to explore,
discover, and learn.

Youth Hope & Inspiration Inc. was founded February 16, 2007 by two
sisters who grew up in a family that had limited resources. Although
their parents encouraged them to explore their interest, they were not
able to participate in some of the extracurricular activities of their
choice. As adults, they realize that children desperately need an
opportunity to explore their interest and talents, but they know that
financial situations can make it difficult. Driven by their passion to
empower the youth, they began using their own money to sponsor
children. It is their hope that the community will join them in their
mission and in making their vision become a reality.
Vision
Our vision is to ensure all youth have an equal opportunity to
participate in extracurricular activities, programs, and field trips of
their choice.
Mission
To encourage the community to work together to provide youth, of
disadvantaged and/or low-income families, enriching experiences for
healthy development.
Board of Directors
Youth Hope & Inspiration Inc.'s Board of Directors also realize the
importance of working together to help the youth reach their full
potential. They display their commitment by planning, promoting and
participating in events and by using their own money to sponsor
youth to participate in extracurricular activities.
